The boycat has really taken a shining to the old utility lamp we clipped up in our office after one of our lamps broke. He actually follows the beam around when we readjust it. We were thinking maybe he’s going for the heat, but it’s not really very cool here yet.

That thought brings to mind something I read recently about a cat-person buying a heating pad specifically for their pet during the winter. This just might be the winter of the incredibly pampered cat in our home. Whenever we do something to spoil him we tell ourselves that he is getting old. Which he is. Not sure how old because we found him but we have had him for at least 10 years. Banish the thought.

Oh my goodness…what a face! He looks like such a mischievous little rascal and an absolutely adorable one that’s for certain! He’s one handsome old fella :) I don’t blame him for wanting to be by the warm lamp. Once the weather cools, I lay as close to the heater as I possibly can without setting myself on fire! xo Marisa

He has never really shown that much interest in seeking heat before, except that he hates going outside in the winter, but still insists on getting out for at least a few minutes every day. Not really sure why he wants to go out when it’s cold and frankly it’s a bit of a hassle because I’m forever checking the door (=letting the cold air in) to see if he’s ready to come back in!
